LOCAL HOUSING
What kinds of homes are in Ellon?
Ellon has seen significant growth, with modern housing estates around the historic town centre. The newer homes have standard tiled roofs with good aspects for solar panels. Older granite properties exist near the original town and along the Ythan valley.
Surrounding farmland includes stone farmhouses and cottages, many heated by oil or LPG. These rural properties can benefit from a heat pump with solar panels and a battery to replace fossil fuel heating.
ROOF AND WEATHER
Is Ellon a good spot for solar panels?
Ellon sits inland on the Ythan river, sheltered from the worst coastal exposure but still within the North East's long daylight zone. The survey checks roof orientation, shading from trees and whether wind exposure needs extra fixing specification.
The Formartine area gets good summer output, and east-facing roofs catch morning sun. A battery helps store daytime surplus for evening use, especially for homes that are empty during the day.
